Matthew 11:28-30
“Come to me and I will give you
rest—all of you who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke. Wear my yoke—for
it fits perfectly—and let me teach you; for I am gentle and humble, and
you shall find rest for your souls; for I give you only light burdens.”

Have you ever tried on
clothing or a pair of shoes that didn’t feel quite right…then someone
suggested that you try another size, and it felt so much better? The
fit was more “you”…in fact, it was perfect! That’s exactly how it is
with a life in Christ. Jesus fits each of us perfectly. Notice that He
doesn’t claim to give you a burden-free life. Jesus promises us burdens that are lighter and easier to bear – because He does the heavy lifting!
Nobody
likes to wear shoes or clothing that doesn’t fit. So why are you
putting up with a life that is overly burdensome and uncomfortable?
Come to Jesus…let Him do the heavy lifting. Wear His yoke instead of the ill-fitting one you’ve been dealing with…and find rest for your soul in the process.
